After the devastating loss of big black, I decided to make some changes to big blue. LOL. Big black was my more work inspire truck.Therefore, big blue did not have a trailer break. Time to make some changes. This is how you install the trailer break, it is pretty easy. Took me all of 30 minutes to do. Hopefully this video help someone else out. Make sure you have the correct fuse box with the 30 amp and fuse 24 location and FORScan!

Thanks, worked like a charm on my 2018 Lariat. I didn't totally disconnect the two plastic panels, I left all the wiring attached to both. I was able to slip the brake module in with no problem. Never would have been able to do this with out your VID.

Informative video, thanks. For those who do not have the 30 amp fuse my 2018 STX did not even though the truck came from factory with basic to package. 30 fuses were installed in fuse panel for passenger and driver power seats which my truck does not have, I moved 30a fuse from front driver seat #21 position to the trailer brake #24 position and everything works now. No additional wiring needed.

Kenny, great video! This video really helped me install the brake controller in my 2019 F-150. Thanks to your reference of how to use ForScan and the fuse, I was able to successfully install the brake controller. After getting the brake controller installed I had to request a 2 month trial license for ForScan. It took several hours for my ForScan account to be activated to then generate the trial license. I got the truck’s computer to enable the trailer brake controller. Then I got a trailer brake fault on the dash. Thanks to your video on checking the fuses...I found my issue. No fuse in #24. Thank you so much for your content! This saved me hours of frustration!

You gave me a scare when you said that not all the trucks came pre wired for this. I immediately paused the video and went out and looked at my fuse box. I discovered that mine didn’t have a fuse in that spot, so that scared me even more since I already bought everything. I ran to grab my tools and tore apart the dash panels pretty quick and luckily the wiring was there. I just have to find that fuse, and since it’s not a common fuse I guess I will have to get it from the dealer. If my truck has the wiring then all of them have it, mine is a 2019 regular cab short bed xl with a 3.3 L v6 and 3.55 gears, so not really made for towing much.

I’m not 100% sure on that. But my personal opinion is that a pen and paper is your friend. If you make any changes to those numbers, make sure you know what to change them back to in case something does not function properly. Are you sure there is not an issue with your controller?

@Kenneth Toney, I also have a 2018 F150 XLT Sport 5.0L. I bought a break controller on eBay hooked my up and did the forescan enabled both and got the gains settings, but after I did that it disabled my drive modes ( sport, eco, tow,etc..) did urs happen to have that problem, or anyone else out there.? I’ve even disabled it and left it plugged in and it still disabled the drive modes but I unhook it from the harness and back to normal.? Is there another setting I might need to change.?
